As Salam Alaikum friends! I hope you are all having a great morning so far.

So, Ive been thinking about prejudices and phobics lately. We all know there are prejudices against all types of people, races, religions, etc, but I found a couple to be most disturbing while reading lately. Islamophobia is on the rise and here are a just a few leading politicians and opinion makers in the United States (my own country!) comments on Islam and Muslims, etc.

“The nation has been invaded by a fanatical, murderous cult… We should invade their countries, kill their leaders, and convert them to Christianity.” – Syndicated columnist Ann Coulter, National Review Online, September 2001

“We’re not attacking Islam, but Islam has attacked us. The God of Islam is not the same God. He’s not the son of God of the Christian or Judeo-Christian faith. It’s a different God, and I believe it is a very evil and wicked religion.” – Franklin Graham, NBC Nightly News, November 2001

“Islam is, quite simply, a religion of war, and Muslims should be encouraged to leave. They are a fifth column in this country.” – Lloyd Lind, Free Congress Foundation

“I believe that Muslims in this country are a fifth column…The vast majority of Muslims in this country are very obviously loyal, not to the United States, but to their religion…the reason they are here is to take over our culture and eventually take over our country…You think we should befriend them; I think we should kill them.” – Jay Severin, host of a popular Boston area morning talk show on WTKK-FM, April 2004

“Muslims attacked us because we’re a Christian nation, because our foundation and roots are Judeo-Christian and the enemy is a guy named Satan…We in the army of God, in the house of God, in the kingdom of God have been raised for such a time as this,” – LT. General William G. Boykin, October 2003

Can’t ya just feel the hate here? Wow…well the statements speak for themselves and these are the types of people of our news stations, media, government and MILITARY!!! No wonder Americans who don’t know Islam are swayed to think of it as evil
